On to more information:

"Thanks Hannah Wood for your update from earlier this week. Today is Friday, Feb 12 and here's what's happening in our room at FSR. Gene Wood had an EMG (nerve conduction) this am which was "negative". The "Dr. House"-like hospital neurologist came in and scratched his head (as the parade of doctors before him) and suggested that the collective brain trust consider Guillian-Barre (google it). Not a diagnosis, mind you, just something to consider since nothing else is showing up and NONE OF THEM HAVE EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. Why can't we just be normal? Anyway, PT has been in and he's currently up in a chair. We are awaiting word from the Patricia Neal facility to see if he will be accepted there where he can get some intensive PT/OT. In the meantime, there are 50 ceiling tiles in this room, 6 electrical outlets and no working clock. Not that it's a boring place. Quite the contrary, there's a steady stream of confused faces in and out the door. And we've had some lovely guests too, whose faces weren't confused in the least to see their family member/friend/pastor in a sexy hospital gown with his Bible open and pens at the ready. He is a predictable sort. We wait. We pray. We trust God and we love you."
